Beginning of (this) End

American Idol classic moments:
Chris (auditioner): "I've never kissed a girl."
Randy: "What? On purpose?"
LOVE IT!

So, classes have begun, starting my second semester of this school year. So yay! (Three semesters left, counting this one...)

They're actually rather entertaining, so far.
I am taking two theater courses. The first is the one we all dread -- it is the hardest theater course ever. And by hardest I mean, you actually have to do work. Lame.

The second is Acting II. I'm thrilled for this one. I haven't taking an acting class for a while, so I'm really gonna enjoy this.

I am taking a Comm course, which will be fun. It's all about graphic design and stuff -- not my thing, but should be fun anyways. We're supposed to blog about each class and what we did in them, so we had to set up Wordpress accounts. I kinda like Wordpress, actually.

I'm also taking a short stories class. This one probably won't be difficult, especially given this morning's class discussion about "To Build a Fire" by Jack London as we discussed dynamic and static characters...
(If you haven't read it, beware, I'm totally spoiling the end here!! You should stop reading here!!)

Me: "Well, he's clearly a dynamic character, he goes through some very major changes."
Prof: "Can you give some examples?"
Me: "To start with, he starts out alive and ends up, y'know, not alive."
Prof: "That's a very good insight."
I'm pretty sure she wasn't kidding, either.

What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening...

I get it, ya'll don't like how I'm not posting......so let me tell you what all has been going on.

I got cast in the fall main stage production of Gint. I was up for the lead, but the damn script....the minor characters are more difficult to play and require a greater ability to have variety. And for that reason I was not cast as the lead -- which is a good thing, I suppose, except for the one little detail: It looks shitty not to have leading roles on your resume!!!
Okay, over it.

I'm slacking in my core class. The professor is allowing it. "I need you guys to watch this video, but just in case you can't see it when it's on TV I'm going to give you the answers to the worksheet in class." Yes, that's how I'm earning my participation grade. Dead serious.

As for my little adventure back home to Rhode Island this weekend...it was because I had a film gig. For a web series. And it sounds like it will be the first of several appearances I have on the series. My video isn't even out yet and the character is already getting involved from his Bebo...
My friends Kat and Katie came with me. To make the weekend even better, it was my mom's birthday. And the last full Waterfire of the season. And the Dark Lady was having it's Gay-sha block party!

In other news, a few pop culture things that irk me:
The Backstreet Boys have too many things in common with their songs. For instance, their two most recent "hits" (that I know of) are "Inconsolable" and "Incomplete". Can we get a new first syllable, boys? Aside from the similarities between the words themselves, both songs suck. Course, I have never been a fan of them so...maybe I'm biased?

Next on the agenda: Chris Cocker, or whatever his name is. The boy weeps in the defense of a tragic mess and, dare I say, a lost cause (Britney Spears) and suddenly shoots to stardom. Can I just throw this out there: he's OBNOXIOUS. His hair is bad. His face is bizarre. I'd rather listen to nails on a chalkboard than his heinous voice. And could you be any more....(for lack of a better word) gay? Seriously, get a personality and follow it up with your sexuality, not the other way around.

Aaaaand, on a totally seperate note...how's this for exciting: Expressmen Interviews My Friend Tony Gibble!
